Chiropractic is a primary healthcare profession. Chiropractic care can be beneficial for a number of reasons; relieving symptoms of pain and discomfort, improving mobility and reducing disability associated with muscle and joint problems.

Chiropractic care uses a range of techniques when treating patients such as manual methods of care, including spinal and joint manipulation (also referred to as ‘adjustment’) but may also use other hands-on or instrument-assisted approaches.

At the SCC Clinic, our student interns will also provide lifestyle advice and exercises to help you manage your condition. This may include dietary and nutritional advice as well as strategies to manage stress and discomfort.

At your first visit you will be welcomed into the SCC clinic by one of our helpful chiropractic assistants who will ask you to fill out paperwork with your personal contact details as well as information that relates to your current and past health challenges.

You will then meet with a student intern who will spend time reviewing a thorough case history and examination with the intent to determine the cause of your current health challenge and if chiropractic can help.

Depending on what is found during your examination, you may be required to have x-rays taken. All our student interns are trained in radiography.

After the student intern has had time with a Senior Clinical Tutor (an experienced GCC Registered Chiropractor) to review, study, and evaluate the findings from your examination and x-rays (if appropriate), a follow-up visit called your ‘Report of Findings’ is made where you will be shown what is causing your current health challenge, how chiropractic may help, and how long it may take to get you well.

Once approved by a Senior Clinical Tutor, your student intern will suggest a care plan that is customised to your needs based on these findings and previous experience with patients who have faced similar challenges.

If you wish to follow these recommendations, you will receive your first chiropractic adjustment at this visit.

Healing takes time and this time is different from one person to the next.

The rate and capacity of which you are able to notice results depends on many factors such as how long you have been dealing with the health challenge, underlying structural damage, the severity of the problem, and other lifestyle stressors such as the quality of your nutrition, fitness level, and mental-emotional stressors that constantly surround you.

Before starting care, your student intern will outline ways to help you help yourself that will, in turn, help you to feel better faster and function more optimally.
